article.  

The two Stata format files are to replicate Tables 3-5.

qdata.dta is a quarterly data set used to estimate the models in Tables 3 and 5.
ydata.dta is a yearly data set used to estimate the models in Table 4.

I do not include do files since the models are easy to estimate.

The other two files are the asci files needed to reproduce the two measures of
social capital.  To construct each measure requires the WCALc program available
on Jim Stimson's website.  Follow the instructions available with WCALC.
